"I'd rather respect myself than disrespect myself to please someone else." With everything else he's said, I think Chris Kendall is my new hero. ⭐💕
I went through Air Force Basic training in 1990 as a vegan and even there I was able to get a pear at every meal and somehow enough potatoes and rice and oatmeal to survive....and family mailed me a snack that I could wolf down at mail call a few times a week. All the girls were gaining weight from slamming in the meats and I was dropping fat in basic training and looked more fit than the other girls. I also didnt have the huge constipation problem they had. Being mostly a raw vegan for the past 35 years and I never gave a damn what anyone had to say about what I eat. Ive never really cared to be around people who are not way into working out and most people into sports don't put you down if whatever you are doing is working for you. Family is more likely to tell you that you are a nut job, however! My mother told me I would die if I quit eating meat in 1986 and I told her " no problem!! then at least I wont have to worry about dealing with the constipation that meat causes me. Who wants to live here forever mom? Leave me alone"! Lol flash forward 35 years and she ends up with autoimmune issues and still eats meat and eggs and cooks everything.....some people think their sedating cooked food is the only reason to live ...it is THEIR DRUG OF CHOICE. I recognize this as I am a former IV heroine addict ....for 10 years. Btw his comment on being perfect is valid. If a person thinks of cooked food as an addiction, which it truly is, then even one slip up makes you feel guilty and tainted and sick inside and deflated. I find it utterly impossible to be happy with mediocrity once my eyes were opened.
This is inspiring. Thank you for sharing 👍
I love how he took his 40 ounce banana smoothie to the party and drunk it out of a paper sack. 😁😊
This lifestyle helps us stay creative 🤗
😁😁😁
It can be so fun and disarming when we play like that socially and have fun no matter what we are “consuming” 🙌🏼
I love his honesty. It's not about perfection but progress and consistency. It's a journey.
absolutely:) xoxxo
All with the dance ❤️🙏🏼
What he says about bringing consciousness to eating, his "slip ups", is really the crux of this interview, in my opinion! Oh yes, I've been through these scenarios! Thank you for being so candid, transparent, and showing your vulnerability, Chris! You empower others!
Such a honour and pleasure, bliss you for sharing your key takeaway and the kindred experiences as well🙏🏼❤️
Chris is the absolute best! He, in my opinion, has set the bar in the industry of what is possible, and how to do things right. I remember when I met Chris at the Canadian fruit festival- I was so nervous - more nervous than if it was some Hollywood hunk (ok he IS the banana hunk tho LOL) I could barely muster any words let alone entire sentences as he stood in line for breakfast with me (albeit completely distracted by adoring fans) It was so incredible to be surrounded by people like him and Mellissa from raw food romance and Dr Douglas Graham and Dr Sam, John Kohler and so many others who make this lifestyle easier and more accessible.
Since then I went on forging my path to become a respected educator in the field.. however a relationship with a literal parasite (Narc) eventually got me off the wagon, and into some serious mental, physical and spiritual trouble.. It has taken me a long time to get out of that, and back to what I know. and Chris is 100% right about everything. for 3.5 years I was raw, I was the BEST in my entire life. I had endless energy, I reversed aging (and even tho I have been a mess for the past 1.5 years) i still look 10 years younger than my age.. I used to wake up naturally 5AM and go to the gym for an hour, then go to work a hard labor landscaping job all day, come home and do meal prep and then study my ass off. I used to run circles around people and i was very strong with big muscles and was never "too thin" I ate a lot, was razor sharp focused and I inspired so many people around me. for those 3.5 years I also was completely sober, no smoking, zero caffeine (except cocoa) and was a big ball of love and light. As soon as I started relying on others during c0vid.. eating cooked, and then relaxing a lot of my standards and values due to financial issues during c0vid.. I really started to see my darkness return.. it kept coming and coming and coming. I got more and more angry with myself, and my ex for manipulating me off the wagon.. and literally not letting me leave. The only way I was able to escape was returning to Canada for the summer. I'm so so so happy I am healing at such a fast rate, currently doing a parasite cleanse both physical and spiritual while transitioning back to my favorite foods that fueled my most brilliant and amazing times of my entire life. I cannot say enough for this lifestyle, when done RIGHT.. is just.. it's so hard to explain, it's ineffable, surprisingly hedonistic and abundant. Pure love and the cleanest energy. It's a spiritual experience not many people are ready for. And I really wish more vegans would accept that this is not a prison - people are allowed to make mistakes and slip up - I haven;'t even posted for a year because of the shame. the goal is to have MORE people loving and living this lifestyle, not more people AFRAID of the cult-y religious-y vibes and the horrid backlash of being imperfect. anyways, amen to this and all hail fruit and veg. Peace Love and Seasonal Fruit Ya'll!!!
Dang girl! EVERY interview you do just sets me on fire! You are fast becoming one of my absolute favorite people and Yourube channels… (In addition to all the people and channels of all the people that you interview as well lol!) Absolutely love Chris! I can relate to so many aspects of his journey and his stories! This interview actually inspired me to sit down and start writing at least bullet points about my journey and my stories… I am 64 years around the sun so far… Started getting into “health foods“ when I was about 16 years old when I started putting alfalfa sprouts on my hamburgers lol! What an adventure it has been to bring me to the raw fork in the road back in my late 30s… and then such adventurous after that!
Anyway anyway… Thank you thank you thank you Gillian and Chris… Going to listen to it again with my husband tonight :-) :-) :-)
Keep them coming Gillian! I wonder if John Rose would ever do an interview? That would be an interesting one!
Thank YOU for this beautiful comment. !!!
I LOVE that the channel is inspiring you like this !! That makes me so happy 🌹💕✨
Yes am trying to get John Rose !!!
xoxoxoxoxoxo
Aww so blessed by your love shared, much flowing back n honoured to connect with another kindred spirit!🤗💚
@gillianberry, this respondant sounds like a great interview as well!!
Any tips for long term success? Thanks
@@Magnetic_Dragon9 just seeing your comment/question… sooooo busy these days… gosh! let me think about that… i will respond later when i’m not on the fly! :) :) :)
Please pray for me so I can have the strength and consistency to stay raw vegan for my health
🙏
Great sharing! One key thing he said is that he eats 2 large meals a day. My friend who has a raw vegan family discovered that they have to limit their fruit meals to twice a day to avoid teeth problems. When they switched from eating fruit throughout the day to just 2 meals a day, they no longer had any teeth issues.
Interesting!
it's so interesting to hear that going raw vegan was his attempt at dealing with his depression. It sounds like it worked. The same for you, you said it helped with your anxiety. I had anxiety when my mom passed last year and potent juicing and eating raw really helped
i am sorry to hear about your mom passing....I am glad juicing and raw was able to help
Love Chris’ honesty. I think I can do a hybrid of fruits, raw vegan, and cooked vegan food. Chris, you are too hard on yourself. Nice to hear that you are not in a raw vegan prison. You are such a gentle being. We are so lucky to have your presence.
I saw this pop up and wanted to cry, he is beyond, like just radiates kindess.
awwww
@@TheRawAdvantage seriously Chris you seem like the nicest, happiest person who sees the good in people . I hope to be more like you. I keep sliding into cooked food but I'm getting there.
@@claireciliberti5430 We all have our ups and downs and side to sides, enjoy the dance, be easy on yourself and know its all about direction!
Yes, he has a beautiful energy... 🙏
Chris Kendall is my role model. I am studying for the Personal Training Certification and Nitrition Coaching. He is so high vibration! I hope after 17 more years' I am still as high energy as I am today! What a really bright soul :-)
I remember watching Chris at Woodstock fruit festival make these wonderful mango salad dressings with such positivity and brightness. He’s the real deal
he definitely is 💟
Strangely, as I was out walking today, I started thinking about the very thing Chris brings up here, about not focusing on food and to make situations where you can enjoy being around people without having to focus on food. I gave up drinking and that meant I lost a lot of people who were ONLY drinking buddies. I was raw or vegan for a while but it was too difficult. Now, I'm moving back to that, but I realized I need to change my lifestyle, not to become a hermit, but to get involved with people in other ways than eating and drinking together.
Chris Kendall has the best vibe...
truly !
Awww 🤗🙏🏼
💯% FACT!!!!
love his honesty! he is so knowledgable and likeable making this way of eating so inviting
he's awesome!
This was the best interview I have seen in raw food diet.
💚💚💚💚💚
STELLAR interview Gillian!!! I went on Chris first' raw foods retreat in CR about 10 years back, and he is just the most humble, helpful, and authentic person ever with a ❤️ full of 🍌s 🤣 THANK YOU BOTH for sharing your lifestyles and wisdom with us on here!🙏💜🤗
Awww Bliss you Em, was such a fun time and you are the sweetest soul yourself!
Chris is incredible! 🙏 Such an inspiration 👏❤️
💯
I agree, Matt, as are you!!!!
Aww bless you brother, I feel the same about you!
Loved this interview, thank you Gillian! Chris seems like such a kind, genuine person. I really appreciated him opening up about his times when he fell off the raw wagon. Makes us love him more, knowing he’s an imperfect human sometimes just like us x
Grateful for this
Absolutely loved this interview!!🤩
It's great when the interviewer and interviewee are on the same lifestyle. Great one Gillian!
🙏🙏🙏✨✨✨💙💙💙
Love when he mentioned the rainbow island cleanse.
This is the most honest interview (left me teary-eyed) I have seen in your channel. Thank you so much for that Gillian ! I dont think anyone has been this honest... My love and respect for Chris has multiplied manifolds after this. Chris, thank you for showing that you are human after all, unlike so many others who would simply not admit to their weaknesses and make us feel that they are superhumans and we are failures.
Love Chris, and respect him so much for his honesty. It's easy to be defined by labels, but that's so self-destructive. Every day we have the chance to invent ourselves, test ourselves, and learn more about ourselves. Self love is the longest courtship.
Thanks so much Gillian and Chris for another inspirational video. Chris is such a beautiful Soul and had such loving advice in regard to not beating ourself up when having a moment of eating something cooked. I really needed and appreciated hearing this loving message today. Thanks so much to you both 🌸🐝🍇💕
Thank you for all the honesty in this conversation ❤
I loved this interview. Thank you!
Amazing interview. Loved what he said about slip ups. It’s so important to discuss these things and let go of being “perfect “.
What a sweet man. Thank you for your honesty. Love wins!
'perfection is a dance'...I like that! Another fantastic interview, thanks Gillian! 🙏🙏
💛💛💛
His channel is great too! I love to watch the positive guests on your channel.
❤️❤️
So appreciate this interview! Even today,I found myself more hungry so thank you, Chris, for the reminder to eat more fruit!! XO
Amazing. This was so encouraging!
💖💖🌺🌺
Love this interview! Really value his sweetness and honesty ❤.
I loved listening to this inspirational interview, thank you so much!!
hey you're welcome was happy to do it
Thank you for making this video. I am new to this vegan way of thinking . So I have been eating a lot of frozen veggies and will be adding more fruit to my life. This is how raw I have gone so far.
Chris is such a beautiful soul! Thanks for interviewing him!
my pleasure!
I was hoping you would have Chris on! - He is the best! Much love to you both!!!
Aww bliss you for the love shared, much Love back!
I enjoyed this interview so much❤ I appreciate the honesty and loving messages of self reflection and acceptance.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Chris is such an inspiration 🤗

@@GillianBerry Wonderful!
Wow. This was so good. 🙏 When I complete, what I believe is a necessary, juice fast/feast, and I am fully raw back on solids, I’d love to do that chakra rainbow healing mindfulness thing. 🧘🏻♀️ Sounds like it would be fun and healing and amazing. Appreciated his non-judgment and his sharing how he over came judging himself. 🙂
Aww thanks for the feedback and enthusiasm! Reach out anytime on the rainbow island cleanse or anything else at all! 🤗❤️
Great video! Greetings from Philippines❤️
👋 ❤️
Thank you for the transparency. I like the idea of the curry sauce 🤤
me too!!! i am planning on trying that asap!! sounds so good! he has a vid on it!
Such a pleasure, I hope you LOVE it 🤗❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you you both!
Much love to you too!
I had some doritos this past weekend 😭😭 I've had some type of slip up each week during the last month and a half.. either eating steamed veggies or eating a spoon of peanut butter or even chips. For me, it's a challenge because I live with other guys, atm, and they're always cooking meats or offering me ice cream or whatnot. I think the most important thing for me during this initial phase is to stay consistent with my diet change. Taking faithful actions, such as eating fruits for breakfast or only buying raw foods for my own self, will pay dividends in the long term. I believe that's how planting seeds work; micro habits lead to macro success. 😉
You ain’t a raw vegan... Meat is better for you...just how raw meat diet instead of poison raw vegetable diet.
@@lastlime3792 cool 😊 you're entitled to your opinion and I may not be a raw vegan, by definition, but I try to eat a ton of fruits and veggies. 🌱
All in it’s time and place. I really hope the topics we went over in the video help a bunch and that you check out my “emotional and binge eating, creating peace and ease” video on my channel for more insight and help 🙏🏼💚
@@TheRawAdvantage ✅ thanks for your time and thanks for the information. ✅ I think it's safe to say that if I have fruits or veggies available to the extent of not worrying about running out of them, then I'd make the right choice.
@@weareSatoshii all a pleasure, that’s a powerful realization and statement to put into practice. Buying in bulk and buying more before you run out helps a ton!🙌🏼
Gillian, you literally are such an inspiration! I know this is an older video from you (have been binge watching your videos lately lol) This interview did it for me! His story seriously resonated with me and I finally decided I’m going to go raw vegan immediately! Thank you for saving my life ❤ Side note: Thank you also for always commenting back to me! That means a lot!
love you!!!! loved reading this!!!!! wishing you all the best!!!!!!!
Nice genuine interview. 😊
have a great day Donna !! 💙💙💙
Dope content, S/O Chris 👏🏿
💕✨
I LOOOOVVVEEEE Chris!! Been following TRA for years!! Thanks for this one, Gillian!!❤💙💜🥰😻😍🤗❤💙💜
YAY!!! I love him too!!! hope you love his interview. Have you tried his recipes!? Now i want to try the curry!!
Awwww so much love back Tiffany, blessed by you sharing that🙏🏼❤️🤗
@@GillianBerry I'm not a huge curry fan, but Chris' love for it makes me WANNA be one!!!! I will be trying some of his recipes, as I plan to go raw (one month at a time, for now, like "one step at a time") beginning July 1 (or sooner). I DID just get myself an Excalibur (still new in box) dehydrator, so I WILL be trying some of his pizza, cinnamon rolls and other recipes soon!!
I got dentures in 2020, which makes some aspects of raw quite challenging (believe it or not, even watermelon can be hard to chew now 😭), so I plan to find my workarounds for things, then WRITE A BOOK ABOUT IT!!
I'm really so inspired by your channel, Gillian, and I appreciate the content you are pumping out!! Been going back and watching some of your older videos, to remain inspired and learn new things! I also especially love John Kohler's style (okraw and Grow your Greens YT channels), as he's kinda hyper, a bit extra, and over-exuberant like me 😂🤣
I'll also be taking Drs Rick and Karin's Mastering Raw Food Nitrition course this year (just made my deposit this morning to get that early bird deal, woot woot), which I know Chris and Kamila did a few years back, as well.
I'm just trying to pull it all together in a world that is NOT geared toward raw veganism, with a boyfriend who is still a carnivore and on a TON of meds, and with kids in my home who are not geared toward being raw, either.
So, I REALLY appreciate your inspo, and Chris', toooooo!!! And Raw Natty N8 and Raw Food Romance Lissa and so many others!! Just takin' it day by day and forgivin' myself the slip-ups 😍😻🥰🤗💜💙❤
@@tiffanyhackerspace8377 wow all sounds so amazing and such good goals !!!! it will go great for you !!!
ohhhhhhh Im sorry some stuff is challenging to eat maybe that will change and you'll adjust to it ? 😢 😞
I love John Kohler too his personality is so aweome ! I would love yo have him back on one day again !!
Im gonna have to look into Rick and Karin I don't know about them but sounds awesome !!! hope the course goes well !!!
love you !! 🌈💟🌈💟💕🤍💜💖🌹🌺✨
@@TheRawAdvantage You've been a huge part of my journey, lo though you don't really know it!! I am blessed by your presence!! ❤💙💜🤗🥰😻😍
Chris is a fresh breeze, isn't he? I'm glad you chatted together. After 30 years on the raw path, I don't even think about having one bite of something someone is cooking out of politeness, the puritanical thing disappeared after 10 years on the path, it is almost like a rite of passage all raw living vibrant choosers go through. I've also struggled a long time following the low fruit lifestyle because particularly in the summer, fruits are just so hydrating! And perfect if on the go. I am looking to longer term community now, as a 51 year young woman, it's only as you put more years behind you that you relax into the best fit. Especially when you go through the many hurdles women can face as they progress.
wow Charlie 30 years you have been doing it?! that is INCREDIBLE. WOW.
@@GillianBerry Thank you, I wouldn't say it's been easy in the beginning before dehydrators helped me get through the sometimes brutal English winters. But awareness has blossomed and the world wide trade in groceries has too, eating in season can still be challenging. But it's possible, just takes A LOT of dedication. x
Awww 🤗🤗❤️❤️kudos on your flow and sharing as well 🙏🏼
What would you recommend to someone new to this path so we can be successful? Thank you
🙏love these interviews🥳
that's awesome i am so glad!!

Thanks Gillian for introducing us to such absolutely amazing people! Awesome video as always !! How about getting the guy on that sells miracle berry.( Markus rothkrantz , or his son?)...your our radiant berry girl so It just fits!

What is the book he mentioned please at the minute 3:19?
Thank you.

@@GillianBerry
Thanks a lot.
Wu Tang Clan! 🎶 👐
Thank you for talking about when you fell off the wagon! How refreshing
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Honour and pleasure ❤️🤗
I need his cauliflower curry recipe it must be good if he eats it 5 time's a week
same !!! Im gonna try it soon here is the link if you need it:

❤
My B12 was dangerously low as well. Thank you for talking about this. I'd love to know the supplements you use to address this.
i can ask him !!!
for me i take complement all in one !!! mine was 92 before supplements now it's the 500s !! i have a coupon code if you do buy theirs use the code savewithgillian
i like theirs bc it's all in one iodine, k, d, selenium, magnesium, dha/epa, b12, zinc etc !!!!
It’s not that healthy if you need to eat supplements🤔. Either eat animal products or fermented foods that kinda make b12.
Ohh at first I did two Methylcobalamin injections, then over the years Ive tried various brands of sublingual tablets, sprays and liquids, even patches. Now I just use a garden of life sublingual spray, I wouldn’t say it’s the best out there but it’s good quality, inexpensive and works well.
@@GillianBerry thank you, I don't like taking isolated chemistry, so would rather just do the B12 if necessary.
Eating raw or whatever should not be like a promise or a law. Even the phrases "fall off" are wrong. Like you say here, it's about eating because it's super healthy and the more you do that, the better. If 5 percent of the time you have other things, it's no big deal. The older you get, the more this becomes clear. When I was younger, it was like a do-or-die diet and that was MADE for going on and off. No more!
Chris is very young which makes a huge difference it’s also probably very active this type diet for a population that’s over 35 Kobe disastrous I didn’t say it was I’m saying it could be
today I interviewed a 75 year old raw vegan completely thriving and a 92 year old RV completely thriving
and what I notice with all of them I interviewed in their 80s, 90s etc is they're loving life, perfectly healthy - mentally in amazing shape, have packed schedules with podcasts, interviews, books etc and I've never felt so inspired in my life than when I interview the older raw vegans so no I don't agree with that 😁
maybe if they're doing it wrong it can be disastrous ....and maybe it's not for them too ! At the end of the day everyone has to do what makes them feel great and happy regardless!
love you Frank !!! Have a great weekend
👍👍👍
Thanks much! I haven’t heard many people say 41 is very young! In my consulting practice and personal experience I find this lifestyle works great for all activity levels. The caveat is some activity is important for health in any lifestyle but is relative to one’s current fitness level.
What was the book mentioned that everyone should read? 🙂
Ohh if it’s diet then “the 80/10/10 diet”, and fit for life, outside of that I love “Beyond Words”🙏🏼
two meal a day sounds outstanding
💯
Hm.. I started my raw journey yesterday...I know it's only been 1 day.. I have more energy.. but have not felt like what everyone describes.. maybe it'll take longer... maybe it's because I have so many parasites in me..I dunno..I can't wait for the spirituality and hopefully getting more of the parasites out so I can cure myself. I'm excited to see where this goes. I'm curious if everybody in the raw world is using a dehydrator ..I don't know if it'll impact me curing myself or not. People say they don't get tired of salads but I've eaten something different every night my whole life and I'm afraid I'm going to get sick of salads..
Ok I have a question..why is it even after so long on raw vegan do people still crave and cave into certain cooked foods if the taste is supposed to leave you after so many weeks ?
they still have cooked food trash in there colons, you need a long juicefast to get rid of this stuff
Great question, while there could be many answers to this, as some do crave and others don’t, at least very infrequently, the most common reasons one may crave old foods can be as simple as nostalgia, high levels of stress, being really hungry and under fuelled, being hungry and smelling a old favourite, being hungry and peer pressured from friends or family, having eaten poor quality / limited variety of food for a period of time, nutrient imbalances or deficiency, feeling unfulfilled in life, major emotional upset.
From the above you can see food can range from social, emotional and to physical reasons.
@@TheRawAdvantage ok thanks for breaking it down ..good answer 😊
11:00 importance of calories consume, is there specific reason why we need to consume tones of calories on raw vegan? all was said consume more calories, but no reason why....thx
Hey ! it's just important to make sure you're eating enough as sometimes people aren't eating enough food then may feel tired and weak as a result !
and the raw foods just digest so much easier and faster so you typically need to eat more food ,))
@@GillianBerry I see thank you for quick respond. So the reason would being tired, fatigue and weakness. That make sense. 🙏
@@Happy-jv9fd :)
Ohh great question, no need consume tons / past actual needs it’s just that the amount needed is more than most think. Fruit and veg are super high in water, high in fibre / volume and high in nutrition per calorie so it’s easy to fill full and comparatively satiated (compared to a standard diet) without actually meeting your caloric needs. One can go a few days or even a few weeks at a few hundred calories in deficit, but reliably after that it’s likely one will bonk and either binge on dense calories (fat or cooked carbs) or learn to eat larger volumes to meet their needs. Beyond this is common to feel lighter and more energetic and to want to move more which causes a larger calories need, it takes some time to get used to the volumes needed. Hope this helps
Hi Gillian I have a question I hope u can answer cause I have absolutely no one to turn to concerning raw food. But I just recently started eating raw vegan and prior to that I was plant based but I notice my stomach is always bloated and I started taking probiotic a good one and the only thing It did was not make my stomach hurt anymore but it’s still bloated. Like what else can I do to get a flat stomach.
And another thing is I’m not sure what DM means
hey!! I remember when I was early raw or also when not even raw way back the pill probiotics used to do that to me I am not sure why maybe my micorbiome still was imbalanced I don't know!
I know when you first transition it can be normal to feel bloated even if i got on a fruit cleanse or juice cleanse I sometimes experience bloating for the first week till my body adjusts.....
how are you eating too? too many fats by chance? or improper food combining? (ie easy to digest stuff like melons or fruit after harder to digest stuff?) or over eating?
exercise is important too:)
let me know if this helps at all!!! oxoxxoox
@@GillianBerry thank u for answering my question but I honestly can say I don’t think I’m eating as well as I want to be at the moment. I get up every morning and I juice with all kinds of different veggies and fruit then I’ll go all day without eating cause I work all day and then sometimes I’ll make a smoothie and that’s it. I just wish I could eat better if I new how. That’s y I thought just being on strictly juices would be easier for me
Digestive enzymes
@@pinkiepinkster8395 oh ok so I should take them? And do u have a specific kind that’s good and u think taking probiotics and enzymes at the same time is ok?
Raw vegan skater 😁, damn he's cool 😎
Haha awwww😎😎🤗💚
it hurts to hear how he beat himself up over his slip ups. The vegan community shames too much. It puts too much pressure on people, like if there are slip ups, then you were "never" vegan, just plant-based. So much mental baggage. But then they can overlook things like tattoos, as long as they are vegan?! To me, the health of the individual is what's important
I think there can be a lot of shame in a lot of communities and against a lot of communities as well and it is unfortunate. At the end of the day I believe everyone has to do what's best for them and what they want or with regards to what they do with their body or anything. Have a wonderful day! xoxo
Yeah ayurveda promotes cooked food. But seeing this man and of course you I can realize that facts need no argument.
Thought you were gonna have a video with Aris Latham.. I saw something that you were gonna have a video with him in two days and it’s now past two days.
Would we have to eat as much as Raw Christina eats? Cause she eats huge amounts I probably couldn’t even eat half of what she eats. I eat an average sized bowl of salad and I get full from that.
15 bananas and 10 mandarin oranges.! Who can afford that unless you have banana plants and orange trees growing in your yard. I live in Hawaii and at the farmers marksmen you get about 3 oranges for $2. And most likely are not organic. At the health food store it’ll cost more. I live in Hawaii so food is more expensive here for the most part except some of the tropical foods we find here cost way more in da mainland.
Hey !! Yes his is coming we had to reschedule it for this week to do ! But even then I have a few to post soon so it will be coming sometime over the next few weeks forsure 😁
Animal products are the most bio available and most satiate food you will ever find. Vegetables are devoid full of fiber they can’t even digest they are not the best.
How old is he?
41
vegan skate boy nice
yeahhhhhh:)))
I keep one foot 🦶 off the wagon 😢but I’m getting back on😊
Wonder when he’s gonna start to fall apart 😂
Recommending high volume of food may not be the best choice for everybody. This man has skateboarding as his passion I'm sure he's burning a plethora of calories. I was at Ann Wigmore Institute twice, and viola may she rest in peace I loved her very kind woman, was obese. Additionally, as a second point of view, Brian Clemens recommends no fruit whatsoever if you are suffering with Candida or c a n c e r. Apparently the test they have done indicates staying away from fruit under those circumstances. Personally when I eat too much fruit I get things growing on my skin and other challenges occur. And yes I do proper food combining and eat organic
Hey!! yes good points but I think everyone has to do what's right for them! I do think for a lot of people they fail raw vegan because they aren't eating enough so that is an important topic but i do see your points!!!! At the end of the day I think everyone has to find what's best for them and their body and what makes them feel their best and also the happiest!! For me I thrive on a lot of fruit! But also I do eat greens too! love you and have a wonderfull day! xo
@@GillianBerry thanks Gillian by the way I just found your channel today I appreciate your doing it. I’ve been a vegan for 40 years maintaining a 100 pound weight loss and for me weighing and measuring my food has been a significant component of my journey from using food to cope with life‘s challenges. I am drawn to eating raw now as I had some digestive problems like bloating etc. just had my second raw meal of the day made a parsnip hummus it was delicious I am feeling a significant difference in my digestion with these two meals🙏🏻👍🏻🦋💖
Appreciate the comment and sharing! When we are talking about a whole foods raw food diet that is higher in carbs and lower in fat then high volume is really necessary to make sure you get enough calories. If one is more athletic then the volume of sweet fruits will be higher to meet the caloric demand, if on the other hand someone is less active they may have a lower volume of sweet fruit and instead more of the lower calorie sub acid, and acid fruit along with lots of greens and veggies. In either situation high volume is required to be adequately nourished both nutrient and calorie wise. Other higher fat approaches may require less volume but they miss the mark in multiple ways which is why most people following such a plan have a hard time sticking to it, usually require or are sold lots of supplements and enzyme powders and are less fit, trim and athletic as per our nature.
With Cancer, Candida and other issues such as diabetes the main crux isn’t fruit but rather avoiding high fat and high fruit at the same time, I healed systemic Candida on high fruit and know quite a few people who have reversed cancer and diabetes on a high fruit approach. If you haven’t checked out “the 80/10/10 diet” by dr Graham I highly recommend it as it goes much deeper into all of this. 🙏🏼
Ahahahah sure Jan, he's vegan when he's sleeping 🤣🤣🤣
